Step up your style game and embrace your inner fashionista at these hip DC shops.
The ever-evolving NoMa & Union Market is a shopping destination to return to time and time again. VINTAGE VINTAGE VINTAGE hosted by LIBBY & MY peddles a rainbow of carefully curated clothing, accessories and home decor. Finds are eclectic, trendy and sure to brighten up any wardrobe or living space.
This glam consignment shop specializes in luxe labels like Chanel, Fendi, Hermes and Saint Laurent, just to name a few. The owners work with consignors from not only DC, but other haute cities like Paris, New York and Palm Beach – meaning you get to explore the closets of fashionistas from far and wide
At its 14th Street hotspot (along with its Clarendon and Old Town locations), Current is can’t-miss for the city’s trendsetters in search of second-hand finds. Each store is a treasure trove of classic and of-the-moment designers, along with a few new pieces for good measure.
A revelation of consignment shopping, Secondi is ideal for a "treat yoself" day as some of its products are on the pricier side for a secondhand boutique. Even if you’re just browsing, this gem and its second floor views of Dupont Circle are a perfect pick-me-up when you need a moment to refresh. Prices decrease the longer an item remains in the store, which is a fun but risky game to play with the high-end brands that end up here.
Fia’s offers just what it says. The consignment shop’s fabulous finds consist mainly of nearly-new women’s clothing and the shop also hosts a local artist-in-residence right in the shop. Stop in to pick up the latest fashions and delve deeper into DC’s local arts scene.
This super cute shop in Adams Morgan sells vintage furnishings, accessories and art. Pixie Windsor (just Miss Pixie to her many friends) has been selling mid-century lounge chairs, 1940s art deco tables and groovy artwork since 2008, and dealing in stylish vintage wares in DC since the 1990s. It’s a go-to for locals looking to give their home a little pop of originality.
Yes, you can stock up on vinyl in this Adams Morgan music store, but you can also shop for vintage and indie designer fashions to complete your punk rock look. Get outfitted in the afternoon and rock out at the 9:30 Club that night!

Located in Brookland's Arts Walk near Catholic University, this gem of a shop and studio (or “storio” as the owners like to call it) packs in plenty of stylish clothing from decades gone by. Analog also makes handmade stationery and paper goods on site. Their online shop is always ready for you, but for a less digital and more… analog experience, make sure to add the Northeast store to your weekend plans as it's open only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
